Dear Ros User, is it possible to get a 2d map (basically for amcl and move base) of the willow garage environment simulated in the willow garage world? Thank you!

The accepted answer to this thread is no longer correct.
The .pgm files at that website do not match the Gazebo world "willowgarage.world"

UPDATE by @130s: As of Jan 2017 this is the right location.

The correct 2D map is "willow-2010-02-18-0.10.pgm"
found here:
/opt/ros/indigo/share/turtlebot_navigation/maps
or
https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebo...

Some generated map files for Willow's office are available: http://pr.willowgarage.com/data/maps/ (found via this thread).

First thing to try can be spawn a Turtlebot with gmapping. Move around in Willow Garage office with teleop and save the resulting map with map_server.

I was just wondering if someone else had already done the gmapping process and if the resulting map is somewhere available

Why would you do gmapping on a map you already have?

Willow Garage office is available in gazebo as a world. AFAIK, gazebo does not provide .pgm map file. Therefore you can do gmapping to have this map. But as @130s mentioned there are .pgm files for WG office in WG's website which I did not know priorly. Therefore @Rahndall can use it directly.

I know this is super old, but the need came up to have a very accurate map of the willowgarage.world, and using mapping seemed like it would be pretty tedious, and the map in the accepted answer was decent but has many gaps.

Using this excellent package, I generated a map, which you can download from here (google drive) if you need it.
